I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 40 The Lend Country
"Attack! Attack!"

Before Marika could reply, the remaining soldiers shouted loudly and approached with their spears raised.

Sage glanced over there, "It's so noisy."

Whoosh!
Immediately, an afterimage rushed out of the crowd.

call!
During the storm, the crutches on Ah Jin's hands danced into a circle, and the iron ball whirled in the wind as it danced, even knocking away the heavy rain. While it was flying, no water could get in.

His figure was slightly bowed and swooped down, like a cheetah, pouncing on the flock of sheep.

boom! !

As the crutches slammed forward, the soldier who was hit by the iron ball immediately shattered with his spear and armor. The whole person flew back suddenly and hit the body of the remaining soldiers. The impact caused these soldiers The soldiers all flew up and staggered to the ground.

Even so, Ah Jin showed no mercy. He rushed to the fallen soldiers, swung his walking stick, brought the iron ball down with force, and blasted his head into the beach. Then he charged again and attacked other soldiers.

Dozens of soldiers, facing a pirate, couldn't even fight back. They could only watch as he swept through them like a beast. Soon, all these soldiers fell down, and their armor was smashed to pieces. Baluo, even if he loses the ability to resist, he will still be hit in the center or head with an iron ball from Ajin.

boom!
It wasn't until it hit the last soldier in the heart and knocked half of his body into the sand pit that Ajin slowly stood up. As far as he could see, there was no one standing.

The blood on his face was washed away by the heavy rain. He swung the walking stick and put it behind his waist. The unwavering face, against the backdrop of the lying soldiers and the gloomy sky, looked like a life-stealing bird. ghost.

The civilians' pupils shrank, showing fear.

'Ghost Man' Ajin.

There is a wrong name, there is no wrong title. A being who has made such a name on the sea will certainly not be lenient when it comes to fighting.

Especially since the people here are not his benefactors, there is no need to worry at all.

"The speed has improved a lot, and the training these days is still effective." Sag nodded, "In a while, I should be able to master 'shaving', good job."

"Yes, Captain Sager, I will work harder to live up to your expectations!"

The 'ghost', who was feared by everyone, lowered his murderous head to Sage and was very respectful.

"Then, continue with my proposal."

Sage said: "Your cooking skills are very good. I am short of a cook on the ship. You are very good. Come on the ship with me."

Of course he knew about the Kingdom on the Bridge, the huge bridge built over the East China Sea, and the people living there were slaves and criminals from all over the place. Once they got there, it would be the same as death.

It would be a pity for a cook of this level to die.

Marika glanced at the lying soldier, then at the head on the beach, pursed her lips and said, "You are not an ordinary pirate, are you?"

One of his men proudly shouted: "My captain is the overlord of the East China Sea! Norton Sager has a bounty of 70 million beli!"

"Seventy million"

Marika's eyes widened slightly, "Although I haven't paid attention to the news recently, the price is too high in the East China Sea. Isn't that why you said you wanted to steal the king before?"

Faced with the presence that was obviously the King's Guard, he directly killed him without any regard for the impact and without even hesitation.

If this is the case, a bounty of this level is not impossible.

"That kind of thing is not important. What is important is that I have my eye on you. I like to rob the king the most. Since you are also the king and there is no trophy, then you are the trophy yourself. Come on the boat with me."

Sage waved his hand and said: "In response, I will give your citizens 'asylum', get on the ship together and become my subordinates, so you don't have to suffer here anymore."

Although this group of people were malnourished and seemed to have little fighting ability, most of them were old, weak, women and children.

But Sagar didn't care about that. Pirates themselves are free and can do whatever they want. It is perfectly fine for a cook who cooks delicious food and turns decay into magic to bring one or two hundred 'burdens' with him.

Besides, if your physique is not good enough, you can practice. No one is strong at the beginning, they all grow up step by step.

Even if you are old and lack the ability to grow, there is a miraculous power called Devil Fruit in the sea that can make people grow up quickly.

It has nothing to do with strength, the most important thing is actually will.

Whatever you do, unless it's something you can't do and you really fail. Otherwise, you must have the determination and willpower to delve into it.

The same goes for being a pirate.

On the sea, if you don't even have the determination to keep your head in your belt, you won't live long.

Sager could see that this group of people actually lacked this will.

People like him who have done all kinds of work but failed in everything, who are so miserable at the bottom of the sea, still don't give up on the landowner's dream in their hearts, regardless of the size of the dream, are really very few people like him.

This has nothing to do with strength. Even if Sager is an ordinary person, he will not give up this dream and will find ways to fight against this world.

But this group of people is different. They are not fighting, they are just enduring.
This group of civilians live on the beach, tenaciously rebuilding their homes after the tide rises, and living strong in one place. They seem to be very powerful, but in fact, once Marika is missing, they may immediately reveal their original shape.

Although they had only just met, he could tell that this group of people reluctantly gathered together because of Marika's presence.

But for the sake of this delicious cook, Sag can open up a little and let them have some protection. If they really can't adapt to the pirate life, whoever wants to live in other towns can just let them off the ship.

"No, it won't work."

Before Marika could speak, a fisherman raised his hand. He seemed to have mustered up the courage and said: "We can't be pirates. Captain, thank you very much for your willingness to take us on board, but we still have Family, if we don’t go to the Bridge Kingdom, it’s our family who will suffer.”

"exactly."

Marika sighed and said: "We are not free to make choices. The common people cannot bear the price. The people living here are just ordinary people who cannot afford to pay taxes."

The Asa Kingdom is not a franchising country and has no human rights for the World Government.

But this kingdom is not born, but formed.

On this continent, the Shallow Sand Kingdom was originally a large beach, which once belonged to the Deep Forest Kingdom. This group of people also used to be people from the Deep Forest Kingdom.

The Qiansha Kingdom is an area leased by the Deep Forest Kingdom. This country will expel people who cannot pay taxes and rush to the Qiansha Kingdom. In this way, they will automatically switch countries and become members of a non-franchised country. They will lose their rights in this country. Human rights at sea.

Without human rights, you can do whatever you want.

The resources of the Deep Forest Kingdom are not outstanding, the only thing that has more is the population. In order to deal with the sky gold, they will select people from the Shallow Sand Kingdom and sell them to the Bridge Kingdom in exchange for money.

But even so, no one is willing to go to sea, because they can't afford the tax alone, and their families are still in the deep forest kingdom.

If they escape, their property will be confiscated and their family will go to the Bridge Kingdom in their stead.

And because they are not from a member country, they will be sold as slaves by others on the sea, and they will not be able to go to sea.

Not only that, even in the Qiansha Kingdom, they were not even qualified to bring tools.

This place is still lent by the Deep Forest Kingdom, so they have to collect rent. They will come here every year to collect money. If there is no money, the people of the Qiansha Kingdom will be burdened with debts, and they will be treated as slaves by them in a grand manner. No excuses are needed. .

Marika came here under this environment.

It's not that she's in debt, it's just that she can't stand it.
